Fishing baiting techniques: worms, boilies and pellets

Banded pellet

Choose how to present the bait. Hooking a worm, mounting a boilie on a hair and banding a pellet are different tasks; use the method that fits the bait.

Choose a bait band that fits the pellet and stretch it on gently to avoid splitting the bait. Keep the hook point clear.
